Who knows - I am tempted to get a Jackson/ Charvel. I always liked the look & concept of them (hot rod bass). You have shown they sound really good as well. A great bass for the price and a great platform to mod on .

like many will tell you, they ARE plain looking with no guard option and no cool chrome control covers, but that is one of the cool characteristics of them...and a CHEAP bass is something that you can mod to death, and never worry about resale value loss from cutting it all up

you want one with or without a preamp, with or without a case and what's your money limit?
